cream alternative

[wotever]

can anybody tell me which is best for cooking with. Creme fraiche or fromage fraise. I'm trying to find an alternative to cream for making say, white wine and cream sauce. Thanks

Creme Fraiche is great.I don't use Fromage Frais because I find it tastes too cheesy.

I use creme fraiche poured over scallops( lightly sauted in onion and butter and mushroom) with chopped dill. just heat gently.

i sometimes use natural yoghurt as an alternative too.

I used to use cr�me fra�che then switched to greek yoghourt and now often use a thick yoghourt.

i would have to say FF as creme fraiche IS cream

If I don't want it too rich I just use far free creme fraiche and grated cheese instead of a cheese sauce - I'm soooooooo lazy though

I find low fat creme fraiche is really useful instead of cream and it doesnt seem to split quite as easily as yogurt. Sometimes I make do with yogurt but put a bit of cornflour in to try an dstop it splitting I dont like fromage frais the texture is too cloying. I havent used the full fat versions of anything coz I like my food too much so I am always on a bloomin diet !
